What it does

Gemini API Dev is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. The Gemini API provides access to Google's most advanced AI models. Key capabilities include:

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM API integration. It works with Google Gemini, Python and Go. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve LLM API integration

Example prompts

“/gemini-api-dev”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Fetch llms.txt to discover available documentation pages
Fetch specific pages (e.g., https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/function-calling.md.txt)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pip
- npm
- go
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- ai.google.dev
- generativelanguage.googleapis.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gemini API Dev loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Gemini API Development Skill

Overview

The Gemini API provides access to Google's most advanced AI models. Key capabilities include:

Text generation - Chat, completion, summarization
Multimodal understanding - Process images, audio, video, and documents
Function calling - Let the model invoke your functions
Structured output - Generate valid JSON matching your schema
Code execution - Run Python code in a sandboxed environment
Context caching - Cache large contexts for efficiency
Embeddings - Generate text embeddings for semantic search

Current Gemini Models

gemini-3-pro-preview: 1M tokens, complex reasoning, coding, research
gemini-3-flash-preview: 1M tokens, fast, balanced performance, multimodal
gemini-3-pro-image-preview: 65k / 32k tokens, image generation and editing

[!IMPORTANT] Models like gemini-2.5-*, gemini-2.0-*, gemini-1.5-* are legacy and deprecated. Use the new models above. Your knowledge is outdated.

SDKs

Python: google-genai install with pip install google-genai
JavaScript/TypeScript: @google/genai install with npm install @google/genai
Go: google.golang.org/genai install with go get google.golang.org/genai

[!WARNING] Legacy SDKs google-generativeai (Python) and @google/generative-ai (JS) are deprecated. Migrate to the new SDKs above urgently by following the Migration Guide.

Quick Start

Python

python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()
response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
    contents="Explain quantum computing"
)
print(response.text)

JavaScript/TypeScript

typescript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});
const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
  model: "gemini-3-flash-preview",
  contents: "Explain quantum computing"
});
console.log(response.text);

Go

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"google.golang.org/genai"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := genai.NewClient(ctx, nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	resp, err := client.Models.GenerateContent(ctx, "gemini-3-flash-preview", genai.Text("Explain quantum computing"), nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(resp.Text)
}

API spec (source of truth)

Always use the latest REST API discovery spec as the source of truth for API definitions (request/response schemas, parameters, methods). Fetch the spec when implementing or debugging API integration:

v1beta (default): https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1beta
Use this unless the integration is explicitly pinned to v1. The official SDKs (google-genai, @google/genai, google.golang.org/genai) target v1beta.
v1: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1
Use only when the integration is specifically set to v1.

When in doubt, use v1beta. Refer to the spec for exact field names, types, and supported operations.

How to use the Gemini API

For detailed API documentation, fetch from the official docs index:

llms.txt URL: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/llms.txt

This index contains links to all documentation pages in .md.txt format. Use web fetch tools to:

Fetch llms.txt to discover available documentation pages
Fetch specific pages (e.g., https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/function-calling.md.txt)

Key Documentation Pages

[!IMPORTANT] Those are not all the documentation pages. Use the llms.txt index to discover available documentation pages

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
